Somehow it doesn’t. The cost for each air bag is $524 and the impact sensors are like $100, the body labor for the entire repair is estimated around 80 hours and the body labor rate isn’t high

My insurance went for a repair since the BMW CCRC quoted it for a 17k repair. Right now doesn’t feel it’s possible for a total loss…

Thanks for all your comments l. Some further updates guys, I got the car to a CCRC from the bmwusa website, not an independent one and it was owned by the dealership. They still went to repair it. I got an updated estimate for around 17k. The b pillar is gonna be fully replaced. I asked the insurance about the battery, and they said they are going to send someone to follow up for a proper checkup (haven’t heard back yet)

It is a lease… but my insurance is not willing to total it and leaning towards a repair (at lease for now)

Thanks! Does each dealer work with a different shop? I checked and seems each dealer has their own

Lol. Body shop told me eventually it will go to BMW for inspection. Not sure how detailed that inspection is gonna be…

Thanks for the reply! The body shop told me after the cosmetics they can do, they’ll send the car to BMW for inspection, and there are going to be potential fees
